ive searched but didnt get my answer..

i got a pretty good deal for a 4wheel alignment job but i was just curious if its necessary to do the rear wheels or not??
im on koni/gc's with rear omni lca's...lowered with no wheel gap..

does lowering the car really affect the rear wheels alignment?
if not..i would rather save the extra cash and just do the fronts..

any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!

 

Absolutely, positively, yes, you need an alignment.

Both front and rear toe changes throughout the suspension's range of motion. On the rear, it's because the toe compensator arm is shorter than the LCA, and so the forward end of the trailing arm moves in a different arc than the hub end, which makes the toe angle change when the ride height changes.

 

alright..thanks alot patrick..

 

yes.

a "front wheel" alignment is only an "option" when that is the only option, like in beam axle or truck suspension where you CANT align the rears.

you should otherwise always get a 4 wheel alignment.
